As you may know, running plays a huge role in my life. From racing the Peachtree Junior as a 6-year-old, to competing in cross-country at Paideia, to running for sport on an (almost) daily basis, I am fortunate and blessed to be able to run.
Running gained a new level of significance for me last November when I raced with the Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF) for the first time. KPF creates awareness and promotes success for persons with disabilities by meeting their needs through sports and helping wheelchair athletes cross the finish line. As a wheelchair push-assist athlete, I have the privilege of running and racing with in-chair athletes. Running with KPF is inspiring, energetic, and FUN!
This year, I am thrilled to run the Atlanta Publix Half Marathon with the Kyle Pease Foundation on Feb 28. I will be running with an in-chair athlete and in honor of my maternal grandfather Arthur who lived with polio and is as a constant reminder to take no stride for granted. I'm also raising $1000 to increase access to sports for athletes of all abilities. Please join me in raising money to support this incredible organization. Your contribution of any amount is appreciated!
My in-chair athlete and I promise some epic finish line photos after 13.1!
